Abstract

The article examines the communicative and strategic constitutionalism as theoretical models and constitutional-legal categories in modern multi-level jurisprudence; scientific approaches to the understanding of national and deliberative constitutionalism, the role of the principle of national sovereignty and collective wisdom in modern constitutional law and in the era of digital democracy and the information society; conceptual, constitutional and international legal aspects of the formation of a complex institution of national deliberative constitutionalism, the relationship between democracy and constitutionalism at the beginning of the 21st century, when various forms of participation of citizens and public institutions in constitutional amendments are widely used. The author critically evaluates the philosophical and legal foundations of the interrelationships of constitutionalism and democracy from the positions of political involvement and participation in constitutional amendments; in the article, the author reveals the problem of geopolitical and international distribution of various models of constitutionalism. The aim is to study the meaning and perspectives of the development of an inclusive constitutional paradigm through the doctrines and practice of implementing strategic and communicative constitutionalism. In the article, the participation of citizens, institutions of civil society, professional and expert opinion is considered as an inclusive, humanistic and social basis in the structure of communicative constitutionalism and in the procedure of constitutional changes. The author used the discursive approach and critical rationalism in legal studies, methods of historical dialectic, constitutional hermeneutics and legal engineering, which allow to reveal the legal and geopolitical nature of strategic constitutionalism, forms of citizen participation in communicative constitutionalism in the context of the formation of a multipolar world. Conclusions: the doctrine of communicative and strategic constitutionalism creates an intellectual and normative-ethical basis for updating the constitutional policy of the state in the public political and legal spheres, expands the forms and methods of interaction between citizens and public authorities in the implementation of constituent power, deliberative and imperative procedures of constitutional changes.
